I really enjoyed this seminar. Alexander Wilson’s enthusiasm for this subject was obvious and he did a great job explaining the intricacies of the Commandos and the Rangers’ brave actions. I was interested to learn of their beginnings and intense training.
Excellent presenter. Good balance of details and overview. I have visited . many of the sites shown and learned new information during this virtual visit.
have replied in previous surveys.
I never really knew the responsibilities of the commandos and rangers. Now I do.
